President Obama has ordered hospitals to grant gay couples visitation rights in the hospital and medical power of attorney. Finally something very significant that he does and very important. Bravo. It was ridiculous of course that parts of same-sex couples in certain places in the U.S. were sometimes denied but luckily that is all in the past now. Medical power of attorney could also be done with a will of course, like me and me bf have arranged.

Out magazine have made their yearly list of most powerful/influential gays public. 5 Adam Lambert, 4 Rachel Maddow, 3 Anderson Cooper(who is not even out), 2 Barney Frank and numero uno of course Ellen!!

Melissa Etheridge and longtime partner Tammy Lynn Michaels have split up after exchanging vows in 2003. They have son and a daughter together. Tammy seemed a bit bitchy and weird in interviews so maybe Melissa needed something else, who knows. Gay couples are just like straights, love and marriage sometimes followed by divorce.
